got back into collecting during COVID and quickly realized I had no idea what anything was actually worth. I'd buy cards thinking I got a deal, then check eBay sold comps and realize I overpaid by A LOT. I started building a simple spreadsheet to track my collection. Then I thought — what if I could just photograph a card and have AI tell me what it's worth, what condition it's in, and whether it's a good buy? So I built a prototype in a weekend. It was rough — the AI would misidentify cards, grades were inconsistent, pricing was all over the place. What changed the approach was realizing collectors don't just want a price — they want confidence. So I shifted from "valuation tool" to a full decision-support system: grading breakdowns, arbitrage signals, want lists, portfolio tracking, tax exports. Every feature came from a real frustration I had as a collector myself. The app is live now on web and just submitted to the App Store. Would love feedback from fellow collectors — what would make this indispensable for you?"**
